The crocuses and tulips are blooming and it is time to brighten up your homes with these Spring Flowers. After a long winter of snow and frigid temperatures there is no better way to bring the warmth and sunshine into our homes than with cut flowers.
According to Home and Garden these are the most used cut spring flowers to use this season:
Spring
• Pussy willow (Salix discolor), yellow tulips, and blue hyacinths. Dynamic yellow and blue flowers mixed with a touch of the fuzzies boldly herald the arrival of warmer days.
• Bridal wreath and lilac is Soft and sweet. This white-and-purple duo is deliciously fragrant, too.
• Chinese forget-me-not yellow Heliopsis, and white fever few. Petite blue, yellow, and white posies that will make you smile.
If you are lucky enough to have a yard and pick your own flowers that is wonderful but if not I suggest hitting up farmers markets. They typically have good prices and the flowers are fresh. Another great spot for fresh flowers is Whole Foods. Remember that arrangements can be simple and understated. You don’t need to over do the arrangements with too many types of flowers or scents. I have included some great vases for you to use as inspirations. Happy Spring!
